Current approaches to the archaeological understanding of
permanence and transience in the early modern period, Can we
approach European expansion to the Americas and elsewhere without
colonial triumphalism? A research strategy which automatically
treats early establishments overseas as embryonic colonies produces
predictable results: in retrospect, some were, some were not. The
approach reflected in the essays collected here does not exclude an
interest in colonialism as an enduring practice, but the focus of
the volume is population mobility and stability. Post-medieval
archaeology has much to contribute to our understanding of the
gradual drift of ordinary people - the cast of thousands, anonymous
or almost-forgotten behind the famous names of history. The main
concern of the articles here is the post-medieval expansion of the
English-speaking world to North America, particularly Newfoundland
and the Chesapeake, but the volume includes perspectives on Ireland
and New France also. While most attend to the movement of
Europeans, interactions with Native peoples, using the Labrador
Inuit as a case study, are not neglected. PETER E. POPE was
University Research Professor and former Head of the Department of
Archaeology at Memorial University in St John's, Newfoundland;
SHANNON LEWIS-SIMPSON researches aspects of cultural identity and
interaction in the Viking-Age North Atlantic. She lectures
part-time at Memorial University. Contributors: Eliza Brandy, Mark
